He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple, and peach trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.' Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the alligator.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some old men can still think fast...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24997412-5172261749250237357?l=raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-11-11T10:39:43.847+05:30</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Japanese rape games invade Indian computers</title><link>http://raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com/2009/11/japanese-rape-games-invade-indian.html</link><category>Article</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Raghav)</author><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:55:08 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24997412.post-1971091054045752453</guid><description>If you are worried about the effect of violent computer games on your child, here's a shocker: sex games with graphic visuals, including those which test the player's 'raping skills', are making their way here, mostly from Japan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rapelay, a 3D game created by a Japanese firm, Illusion, with a storyline' prodding the player to rape a woman and her two teenaged daughters in a moving train, a park and a restroom, is among the hot picks' in the grey market. A source involved in direct marketing of foreign goods with suppliers in Chennai's Parrys and Burma Bazaar markets told TOI that he sold 20 copies of Rapelay last week to customers who had placed orders in advance and that 50 more copies are expected in a fortnight. The game is available in grey markets in other metros too including Palika Bazaar in Delhi, he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are mostly pirated copies made from an original smuggled in from Japan or ordered through online shopping websites earlier. Several websites like Amazon.com had removed Rapelay from its virtual shelves after protests in July.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gamers say several such hentai (Japanese porn) games are also available on the net and can be downloaded on to mobile phones as well. "Young people addicted to these games may start seeing violence as an integral part of sex. While films make children emulate characters, such games where the player is the character can make them act it out," warns sexologist D Narayana Reddy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authorities appear to be either oblivious to the danger or just helpless. The central crime branch police said it has not come across such games during its raids. The Computer Emergency Reaction Team (Cert-In) of the IT ministry, which has the mandate to ensure cyber safety, says its focus is elsewhere. "Our primary job is to prevent cyber crimes that threaten the national security. When such offensive websites are hosted in other countries, there is little we can do," says Cert-In senior director BJ Srinath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This puts the onus on families to install parental control software to block access to such sites from computers and playstations, say counsellors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all started with a pop-up. Gautham Rao, a Class XI student in Hyderabad was surfing the net last October when the window showed a beautiful woman and prompted him to 'dress her up' using a variety of attires displayed on the screen. Rao spent hours dressing her, and later, undressing her. A list of similar sites took him down a dark virtual tunnel lined with bizarre games, where the player takes scores of avatars to undress and grope women of all ages, profiles and ethnicities. It took a few months before Rao's parents discovered the boy's horrible pastime and got him counselled by an expert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year later, the internet is today littered with games that allow players not just to undress and grope women characters, but to tie them up, torture and rape them. While violent sex games are getting more real with 3D animation and special effects, the authorities seem to be either ignorant or helpless. "We have not come across any such game CDs during our raids," says C Sridhar, superintendent of police, central crime branch. What he does not say is that the police, while seizing CDs of pirated movies and porn films, seldom look for game CDs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cyber Society of India, which works in the area of internet security, is also yet to study the matter in detail. "We are an NGO with no criminal jurisdiction. We mostly deal with online credit card frauds and cyber crime, but now we think we need to look at online safety from the angle of such offensive games too. In fact, this was in the agenda of a meeting of the society on October 23," says society secretary V Rajendran, who adds that the new IT Act which came into effect on October 27 has empowered the Computer Emergency Reaction Team- India (Cert-In) under the IT ministry to monitor and block offensive content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Cert-In says it does not have the resources to monitor and block the scores of websites that offer rape and other violent games. "Only if there is a specific complaint about, say child pornography, can we step in," says a senior official. "We are aware of websites with violent sex as content accessible from India, but it is technically unfeasible to block all these sites. When the servers of these websites are situated outside the country, we cannot do much. Pursuing cases against offenders is also a long-winding process."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That puts the onus on parents. Says Bhavani K Raman, founder of Chennaimoms.com, an online community of mothers that discusses internet safety: "Parents must be aware that many phones and gaming consoles like PSP and playstations have built-in wireless access. So it is wise to install parental control software to restrict access." The control software allows you to block certain sites or make only some sites accessible for children and tells you the sites visited and the duration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another concern is about browsing centres making all kinds of websites accessible to children. Despite guidelines issued by the police, net cafes do not run an age check on visitors nor do they have firewalls. "The most important thing," Raman says, "is to create awareness in the child. Talk to your child about the danger and downside of using these games and sites. An informed child is a safe child."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Advisory for parents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Use Parental control software that helps you select the sites your child can visit and set duration&lt;br /&gt;* Use kid safe browsers like Kidzui and Kidrocket&lt;br /&gt;* Search engines have settings which exclude adult material from search results.&lt;br /&gt;* Upgrade your browser as the latest versions have better security settings&lt;br /&gt;* Keep the computer in a place where everyone could see the monitor&lt;br /&gt;* In the computer, create one account for each child without administrative privileges&lt;br /&gt;* Check browser history after your kid used the computer&lt;br /&gt;* Monitor their computer usage in browsing centres which are becoming hot spots for gaming and adult material&lt;br /&gt;* Talk to your child about the danger of using adult sites.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24997412-1971091054045752453?l=raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-11-07T11:25:08.981+05:30</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Wife Vs Husband</title><link>http://raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com/2009/11/wife-vs-husband.html</link><category>Humour</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Raghav)</author><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:50:56 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24997412.post-1602662015748896</guid><description>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: teal; font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: teal; font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;IFE VS.

He left it where he knew she would find it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:blue;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Kristen ITC;font-size:180%;color:teal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: teal;"&gt;The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Kristen ITC;font-size:180%;color:teal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt;

The Invocation is part of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Sri Rudram" Lagunyasam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Gurupaduka Stotram&lt;/span&gt; - emphasizes on surrender and faith to the cosmic presence which serve as a vessel to carry us through this tumultuous existence, making it possible to 'live' life to its fullest - possessing an enlightened mind overflowing with passion, courage and intuituve discretion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shuryashtakam&lt;/span&gt; - evokes the strength from within. It is a request to this divine energy to extinguish our negativities just as it expels darkness and disease. Being the source of life and existence itself, the sun is indeed our first physical experience of the Supreme Creator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mahalakshmi Ashtakam&lt;/span&gt; - creates a feeling of confidence and prosperity since it generates vibrations to remove apathy and dispair. It helps to awaken the divine and auspicious nature of man, making him in control of all situation, be it worldly or at the spiritual and mystical dimensions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shivashtakam&lt;/span&gt; - The joy of silence is certainly a benediction. We praise the 'controller' of all existence, to give us 'His state'. of eternal joy, and, the prosperity and enrichment of the soul - The joy of being at ease with ones own "self".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vishwanathashtakam&lt;/span&gt; - We relate to the omipotent being, as part of Him and we sing to Him to bless us with His mature of boundless bliss. Flowing like the Ganges, let us experience.... this Sacred endless flow of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kalabhairavastakam&lt;/span&gt; - delivers one from sorrow, lust, proverty, greed, anger and pain, channelsing action in the path of truth and love, which bestows unexpected rewards and joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Krishnashtakam&lt;/span&gt; - of all great experiences, that of spiritual joy is most appeasing to our conciousness. Describing the omnipresent is equivalent to describing His manifestation. It oozes in tremendous emotion and makes one enjoy the ecstacy - relating one to creation itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lingashtakam &lt;/span&gt;- The feeling of gratitude is what brings great Love and Peace. The lingastakam praises, describing the Supreme who is the cause and end of this Cosmos. "The eternal nothingness", that manifests with every creation, is asked to accept our joyous physical appreciation of His marvelous work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Annapoorna Stotram&lt;/span&gt; - awakens tremendous spiritual strength, which would in turn reinforce psychological and physical energies.

These Timeless compositions have been able to transfer altered states in consciousness. The states have been experienced by them, while composing these vibrant and stimulating verses designed to create a contact with the Supremely Sacred. Download Album The CD features following tracks: 01 Invocation - Sri Rudram Lagunyasam 02 Gurupaduka Stotram 03 Suryashtakam 04 Mahalakshmi Ashtakam 05 Shivashtakam 06 Viswnathashtakam 07 Kalabairavashtakam 08 Krishnashtakam 09 Lingashtakam 10 Annapoorna Stotram 11 Adamarshana Suktham It is a phenomenal experience to feel the cosmic presence everywhere and to comprehend that the different forms of God are merely, a part or an aspect of the whole. The Invocation is part of "Sri Rudram" Lagunyasam. The Gurupaduka Stotram - emphasizes on surrender and faith to the cosmic presence which serve as a vessel to carry us through this tumultuous existence, making it possible to 'live' life to its fullest - possessing an enlightened mind overflowing with passion, courage and intuituve discretion. Shuryashtakam - evokes the strength from within. It is a request to this divine energy to extinguish our negativities just as it expels darkness and disease. Being the source of life and existence itself, the sun is indeed our first physical experience of the Supreme Creator. Mahalakshmi Ashtakam - creates a feeling of confidence and prosperity since it generates vibrations to remove apathy and dispair. It helps to awaken the divine and auspicious nature of man, making him in control of all situation, be it worldly or at the spiritual and mystical dimensions. Shivashtakam - The joy of silence is certainly a benediction. We praise the 'controller' of all existence, to give us 'His state'. of eternal joy, and, the prosperity and enrichment of the soul - The joy of being at ease with ones own "self". Vishwanathashtakam - We relate to the omipotent being, as part of Him and we sing to Him to bless us with His mature of boundless bliss. Flowing like the Ganges, let us experience.... this Sacred endless flow of life. Kalabhairavastakam - delivers one from sorrow, lust, proverty, greed, anger and pain, channelsing action in the path of truth and love, which bestows unexpected rewards and joy. Krishnashtakam - of all great experiences, that of spiritual joy is most appeasing to our conciousness. Describing the omnipresent is equivalent to describing His manifestation. It oozes in tremendous emotion and makes one enjoy the ecstacy - relating one to creation itself. Lingashtakam - The feeling of gratitude is what brings great Love and Peace. The lingastakam praises, describing the Supreme who is the cause and end of this Cosmos. "The eternal nothingness", that manifests with every creation, is asked to accept our joyous physical appreciation of His marvelous work. The Annapoorna Stotram - awakens tremendous spiritual strength, which would in turn reinforce psychological and physical energies. It enriches our being eternally, feeding our body, mind and soul with the nourishment of health, fearlessness and compassion. The feeling of being a part of the cosmic self is a thought that makes man's mind limitless, beyond conditioning, time and space. This experience, has never failed in giving us peace joy and freedom.

The plaintiff has cited his failure to attract any girl at all even though he’s been using Axe products for over seven years now. Axe advertisements suggest that the products help men in instantly attracting women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Vaibhav Bedi, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used, unused and half-used deodorant sprays, perfume sticks and roll-ons, anti-perspirants, aftershaves, body washes, shampoos, and hair gels to the court, and demanded a laboratory test of the products and narcotics test of the brand managers of Axe. Vaibhav was pushed to take this step when his bai (maid) beat him with a broom when he tried to impress her by appearing naked in front of her after applying all the Axe products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cQvCXeuPf8Y/SuHPyOmaVSI/AAAAAAAAIzc/ulMSNujr-NE/s1600-h/image.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395822290386179362" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 250px; height: 197px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cQvCXeuPf8Y/SuHPyOmaVSI/AAAAAAAAIzc/ulMSNujr-NE/s400/image.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No girl ever asked Vaibhav to call her&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;“Where the fuck is the Axe effect? I’ve been waiting for it for over seven years. Right from my college to now in my office, no girl ever agreed to even go out for a tea or coffee with me, even though I’m sure they could smell my perfumes, deodorants and aftershaves. I always applied them in abundance to make sure the girls get turned on as they show in the television. Finally I thought I’d try to impress my lonely bai who had an ugly fight with her husband and was living alone for over a year. Axe effect my foot!” Vaibhav expressed his unhappiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vaibhav claims that he had been using all the Axe products as per the company’s instructions even since he first bought them. He argued that if he couldn’t experience the Axe effect despite using the products as directed, either the company was making false claims or selling fake products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I had always stored them in cool and dry place, and kept them away from direct light or heat. I’d always use a ruler before applying the spray and make sure that the distance between the nozzle and my armpit was at least 15 centimeters. I’d do everything they told. I even beat up my 5-year-old nephew for coming near my closet, as they had instructed it to keep away from children’s reach. And yet, all I get is a broom beating from my ugly bai.” Vaibhav expressed his frustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vaibhav claims that he had to do go a lot of mental suffering and public humiliation due to the lack of Axe effect and wants HUL to compensate him for this agony. An advocate in Karkardooma court, who happened to mistake Vaibhav for some deodorant vendor when he entered the court premises with all the bottles, has now offered to take up his case in the court. HUL has been served a legal notice in this regard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HUL has officially declined to comment on the case citing the subject to be sub judice, but our sources inform that the company was worried over the possible outcomes of the case. The company might argue that Vaibhav was hopelessly unattractive and unintelligent and didn’t possess the bare minimum requirements for the Axe effect to take place. Officially HUL has not issued any statement, but legal experts believe that HUL could have tough time convincing the court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“HUL might be tempted to take that line of argument, but it is very risky. There is no data to substantiate the supposition that unattractive and unintelligent men don’t attract women. In fact some of the best looking women have been known to marry and date absolutely ghoulish guys. I’d suggest that the company settles this issue out of court.” noted lawyer Ram Jhoothmalani said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24997412-7267324544277204631?l=raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-23T21:21:25.305+05:30</app:edited><media:thumbnail url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cQvCXeuPf8Y/SuHPyOmaVSI/AAAAAAAAIzc/ulMSNujr-NE/s72-c/image.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Master Plan</title><link>http://raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com/2009/10/master-plan.html</link><category>Humour</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Raghav)</author><pubDate>Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:19:54 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24997412.post-3469889850041344529</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cQvCXeuPf8Y/St8YbU4_K4I/AAAAAAAAIzM/_i7SW4Tm2pA/s1600-h/image001.jpg"target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce right away!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the husband replied, 'Hang on just a minute love so at least I can tell you what happened.' 'Fine, go ahead,' she sobbed,' but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the husband began -- 'Well, I was getting into the car to drive home, and this young lady here asked me for a lift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight.. The poor thing devoured them in moments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since she needed a good clean-up, I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes, so I threw them away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't wear because you say they are too tight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't wear because I don't have good taste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't wear just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don't wear because someone at work has a pair the same.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The husband took a quick breath and continued - 'She was so grateful for my understanding and help that as I walked her to the door, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Please ...

In all of these 50 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha replied, "Well Henry, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I've been unfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Henry was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said, "I never suspected.. Can you tell me what you mean by 'good reasons?'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha said, "The first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn't pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, "I can forgive you for that. You saved our home, but what about the second time?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha asked, "And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn't have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I recall that," said Henry. "And you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All right," Martha said. "So do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24997412-3990741036841654008?l=raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-07T12:48:29.242+05:30</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Lets Learn A - Z of Kannada Slangs</title><link>http://raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com/2009/10/lets-learn-z-of-kannada-slangs.html</link><category>Humour</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Raghav)</author><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:00:23 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24997412.post-7906740201913560985</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cQvCXeuPf8Y/SsO4aSjhZZI/AAAAAAAAIrQ/9fLEQyUxVEY/s1600-h/image001.jpg"target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 122px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cQvCXeuPf8Y/SsO4aSjhZZI/AAAAAAAAIrQ/9fLEQyUxVEY/s400/image001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387352341062182290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24997412-7906740201913560985?l=raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-01T01:30:23.674+05:30</app:edited><media:thumbnail url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cQvCXeuPf8Y/SsO4aSjhZZI/AAAAAAAAIrQ/9fLEQyUxVEY/s72-c/image001.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>I can tell how a man makes love.</title><link>http://raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-can-tell-how-man-makes-love.html</link><category>Humour</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Raghav)</author><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:20:51 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24997412.post-3133038051836466627</guid><description>John and Jill were about to go into his apartment, and before he could open his door, Jill said, "Wait a minute, I can tell how a man makes love by how he unlocks his door."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John says, "Well, give me some examples."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jill proceeds to tell him, "Well, the first way is, if a guy shoves his key into the lock, and opens the door hard, then that means he is a rough lover and that isn't for me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The second way is if a man fumbles around and can't seem to find the hole, then that means he is inexperienced and that isn't for me either."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Jill said, "Honey, how do you unlock your door?"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24997412-3133038051836466627?l=raghavsubramanian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-01T00:50:51.451+05:30</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><media:rating>nonadult</media:rating></channel></rss>
